		<description><![CDATA[In conjunction with national get outside day, Saturday, June 11,  Geneva Hills will host a guided hike at 9am to get us outside and on the trails. Our focus for the hike will be on geology of the local area and how to minimize our impact on the environment when we enter it. The Day will begin with a free guided hike led by Mike Sutter, which will last between 1-1.5hrs.  We will discuss various landform features and how they are unique. You will hear about how Geneva Hills is an ecological gem in central Ohio and how you can help protect our resources. Geneva Hills promotes a variation of Leave no Trace (LNT) which seeks to preserve our forests and green spaces for all generations. The concept is simple. Take only pictures, leave only footprints. After a morning learning about the geology of Geneva Hills, stay and fish in one of our two lakes, or go for a swim in our public pool. We even have canoes and kayaks available to take on the lake. There is no need to RSVP for this event. We simply ask that you participate in the National Get Outside day. &#160;]]></description>
